• Military Preservation Methods: Five basic methods (Method 10-50) for preserving items, including physical protection, preservative coatings, and waterproof/watervaporproof protection.
• Military Packing Levels: Level A (severe worldwide conditions) and Level B (moderate worldwide conditions) packing requirements.
• Packaging Requirement Codes (PRC): An explanation of the coding system used to specify packaging requirements (e.g., QUP, ICQ, Preservation, Wraps, Cushioning).
